Sharpton said the report was misleading and untrue, and according to Politico, politically motivated. Sharpton connected this report to people not liking President Obama and Mayor Bill de Blasio, as well as “they certainly don’t like that I’m still here, and I ain’t going nowhere.”

Sharpton also got testy with a reporter at one point, and clashed with her a bit when he got frustrated about exactly what his National Action Network owed. He said that the organization only owes $800,000 and said he loaned it more than his salary. Sharpton asked the reporter, “Did you see that? Hello? Did you see that?” When she didn’t answer, Sharpton said, “She can’t even bring herself to admit she’s sorry”
